Disney's new streaming service Disney+ has hit a milestone, racking up 50 million subscribers worldwide since its launch five months ago.
Disney+ was boosted by rolling out to eight counties in Western Europe over the past two weeks, including the U.K., France, Germany, and Spain.
“We’re truly humbled that Disney+ is resonating with millions around the globe, and believe this bodes well for our continued expansion throughout Western Europe and into Japan and all of Latin America later this year,” said Kevin Mayer, chairman of Disney's direct-to-consumer and international division. “Great storytelling inspires and uplifts, and we are in the fortunate position of being able to deliver a vast array of great entertainment rooted in joy and optimism on Disney+.
